Give me your babies!!!
That sucks. Too make you feel better, consider that it could be worse. I had severe asthma until I was about 15-16. I was on about 4 injections a week and tons of meds. Through most of high school, no problems. I was completely reduced from regular meds and only kept an as needed inhaler. Then in March of last year I was diagnosed with kidney disease. So I had about 3-4 years of no health problems and then things got worse. Over the summer, I developed an extreme case of anemia due to the side effects of my meds. I'm starting to lose my hair at an extreme rate. Within a year I may be completely bald like a kimo(sp?) patient if it doesn't slow down. Also, I'm beginning to get horrible dizzy spells. Within the last month, I started having about 15 times a day where I just about black out. I haven't completely passed out yet, but I get really dizzy, lose all of my vision and have to hold something and lean over for about 10-15 seconds to get it to go away. I'm waiting to find out the problem from doctors but I think I've already figured out what the problem is. When I got the kidney disease, it was discovered by my kidneys causing my blood pressure to go 200/133. I have been on blood pressure meds since and recently I have been about 135/85. Within the last month, I am about 122/80 when laying down and 95/62 when standing. Usually blood pressure goes up when standing but it goes down and I think that is why I just about pass out. On top of all of this, my asthma is back. It is the worse I've had it since about Jr High. So far it isn't as bad as when I was really little, but it is really preventing me from doing the work outs I want to do. I have plans of making D3 Nationals in track but if I can't get much of this figured out, it won't happen.
